She's opened ideas, she's creative, she makes jewelry, she paints that creativity comes out in her artwork on the menu.
Her personalities everywhere through here.
Well, my name is Will McKibben and I am from here in Greenville.
And really, the way I ended up getting involved in this restaurant was because of my law practice because my business partner, Myra, who is she's the talent and this was her brainchild.
She's been running it since it opened.
She makes all the food decisions 100% The only thing I ever asked is Can I please taste it before we put it on the menu.
The restaurant began as 100% by French creperie.
That was largely due to Myras desire to open a restaurant and trying to figure out what what Main Street needed.
There's nothing she can't cook.
She's wonderful at it.
But one of her best friend's father was a French Crepe Chef.
And so they decided that that's what they would do.
And they spent about a year together working on recipes.
And that's how, what was Crepe Desuer came to be.
It was Crepe Desuer had nothing to do with it.
Then we changed it to Bonjour Crepe.
And then have transferred it again to Bonjour Main International Cuisine so we're going to be offering a wide variety of dinner options.
Myra is finishing up the menu now, one she's very excited about as a French Taco, which apparently is just to die for haven't had it yet.
But I'm looking forward to that.
Because there's a Crepe called La Mornay named before I ever had anything to do with this place.
That was the only thing I ate here for three, four years and I ate it for three years, I guess.
On the sweet Crepes.
I think the Nutella crepe is probably the most popular and there's strawberries, blueberries or bananas or all of that.
And a main street crepe which is slightly similar but a little different that all the sweet crepes are delicious.
There's different batters there's a sweet crepe batter and a savory crepe batter and then we also have a gluten free batter as well.
And now there's the protein batter but anyway, the sweet batter with the Nutella chocolate sauce on the Nutella is just absolutely delicious.
And then we have strawberries, blueberries, bananas, one or all 123 whatever you want on it, and some whipped cream.
And then the main street crepe which is similar except it has an island cream cheese in the center as opposed to the Nutella topping.
There is at least one other creperie in town was out in Travelers Rest.
But this is the only one that has traditional French Crepes.
And of course Crepes are French.
The interesting thing is most Americans and I was one of these thought crepes were basically stuffed pancakes.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The savory crepes are full meals and they're delicious.
But everything is a French recipe truly she developed this with a a French native who still lives there, this her best friend's father.
That's what distinguishes as a creperie.
Otherwise, we're also going to be the only restaurant that really that serves multinational, traditional recipes.
That's the distinction in the food.
The distinction otherwise is the atmosphere.
We've done we really focus a lot on that we want people to feel really included here, comfortable, cared about.
Like it's their own place in a easygoing, that's what makes it different.
We're not trying to be all things to all people but just to add something else to make Greenville a cooler place than it already is, you know.
